Big Eye in the Sky

Take a photographer who loves to fly in choppers, add in a 360-degree camera, and fly over something huge and spectacular. Lean out the door with the camera, then bake in a high-speed processor for a few minutes. The result: breathtaking panoramas on your computer screen that you can control, looking up, down, and all around. Best with broadband and a QuickTime plug-in, but there are also low-res Java- based versions for those stuck with dial-up.
